Yquem 1949

Château d'Yquem, a Sauternes legend, embodies the quintessential Bordeaux sweet wine. The 1949 vintage, born of the Sémillon (75%) and Sauvignon Blanc (25%) grape varieties, flourishes on a unique terroir of gravel over clay, cradled by the microclimate of the Ciron, ideal for Botrytis cinerea. The wine-making process, of rare precision, includes hand-picking and a three-year ageing period in new barrels, sublimating the aromas. This vintage, marked by a favorable climate, offers exceptional quality. Tasting reveals complex aromas of acacia honey, dried fig and citrus zest, with a spicy note. Its opulent texture, balanced by a lively freshness, seduces with its length on the palate. Ideal with mature cheese or fruit tart, this Château d'Yquem 1949 is a jewel for lovers of fine wines. Order this marvel for an unforgettable taste experience.
